                      CONSUMAT ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been prepared
         pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and Exchange
         Commission.  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally
         included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting  principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted
         pursuant to such rules and  regulations.  The Company believes that the
         disclosures made herein are adequate and that the information presented
         is not  misleading.  In the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments
         necessary  for a  fair  statement  of the  results  of  operations  and
         financial  position for the periods  presented  have been made (and any
         such  adjustments are of a normal  recurring  nature).  These financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements
         and notes  thereto  included  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form
         10-KSB for the year ended  December 31, 1996 filed with the  Securities
         and Exchange Commission.

2.       Earnings (loss) per share is calculated  based on the weighted  average
         number of common and common  equivalent shares  outstanding  during the
         period to the extent the equivalents have a dilutive effect on earnings
         (loss) per common share. The number of shares used in computing primary
         and fully diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods ended March
         31, 1997 was 1,261,200.

3.       The  inventories  balance at March 31, 1997  includes raw  materials of
         $198,295  and work in  process of $4,089.  The  inventories  balance at
         December  31, 1996  included  raw  materials  of  $222,262  and work in
         process  of $4,089.  Inventories  used on  contracts  in  progress  are
         included  in cost of goods sold to  accurately  match the cost with the
         revenue  recognized on those  contracts by the percentage of completion
         method of revenue recognition.

4.       Income  taxes  have  been  provided  as  follows  in  the  accompanying
         statements of income:

                                          Period From             Three Month
                                            March 12-             Period Ended
                                          March 31,1996          March 31, 1997
                                          -------------          --------------

           Federal                          $ 1,516              $         -
             State                              379                        -
Deferred Expense (Benefit)
           Federal                           28,533                  (94,662)
             State                            3,156                  (14,343)
                                             ------                ---------
                                            $33,584                $(109,005)

         Income taxes are provided at the applicable federal and state rates.


         At March 31, 1997, the Company had NOL  carryforwards  of approximately
         $3.5 million for federal income tax purposes.  Such NOL  carryforwards,
         if not used as offsets to future taxable income,  will expire beginning
         in 1997 and continuing through 2008. Certain of these NOL carryforwards
         available for future  utilization are limited as the result of a change
         in ownership  of the Company  which  occurred in 1992.  In addition the
         company  has  deferred  tax assets  which have  arisen  from  temporary
         differences  between the tax basis of assets and  liabilities and their
         reported  amounts in the financial  statements.  These  differences are
         primarily related to fixed assets and accrued warranty expense.

         In accordance  with FAS 109, the Company has  recognized the portion of
         future benefits  associated  with the NOL's that management  feels will
         more  likely than not be  realized.  This amount  totals  $263,926  and
         $154,921 as of March 31, 1997 and December 31,  1996,  respectively.  A
         valuation allowance has been set up against the remaining amount of the
         total NOL's.

                          PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2   MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF UNAUDITED
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Consumat  Environmental  Systems,  Inc.,  formerly  known  as  Consumat
Systems,  Inc. (the "Company"),  completed its chapter 11 bankruptcy  proceeding
during the first quarter of 1996. The Effective Date of the Bankruptcy  Plan was
March 12,  1996.  For this  reason,  all  information  presented  in this report
related to the period  January 1, 1996 to March 11,  1996 is  referred to as the
Predecessor  Company.  All information  presented for the periods  subsequent to
March 11, 1996 is referred to as the  Successor  Company.  To  facilitate a more
meaningful comparison of the Company's year-to-date  operating performance,  the
following  discussion  of the results of  operations  is presented on a combined
Company (Predecessor plus Successor) basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
         As was  discussed in the Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB,  the
Company  accounted  for its  reorganization  using fresh start  reporting.  This
reporting  allowed the Company to eliminate the retained  deficit of the Company
as of the  Effective  Date and to restate  the balance  sheet at that time.  The
effects of the  consummation of the Plan and the fresh start  reporting  allowed
the  Company to emerge from its  bankruptcy  proceeding  with a working  capital
surplus of approximately $1,074,000 and a net capital surplus of $1,010,000.  At
March 31, 1997,  the Company had a working  capital  surplus of $1,508,839 and a
net capital surplus of $1,050,913.


                    1st QUARTER 1997 - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Successor  lost $177,850 on revenues of $821,160 in the three month
period ended March 31, 1997. In the first  quarter of 1996 the combined  Company
(Predecessor   plus  Successor)   earned  $93,482,   exclusive  of  fresh  start
revaluation and extraordinary items, on revenues of $1,284,179. The loss for the
first  quarter of 1997 is shown net of the income tax benefit of $109,005.  This
income tax benefit  has been  recorded  based on the  Company's  expectation  of
income to be generated  during the balance of the year ended  December 31, 1997.
The  income  for the first  quarter  of 1996 is net of  income  tax  expense  of
$33,584.

                              LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

         In late March of 1997, the Company  obtained an additional  loan in the
amount of $500,000 from Sirrom  Capital  Corporation.  The loan will be used for
working capital purposes,  in particular,  the continuation of the renewed sales
and marketing effort especially in selected foreign countries.

         Backlog was $425,638 and  $1,130,950 at March 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively.  The decreased backlog, while a concern to the management of
the Company,  is a specific  result of time spent in the bankruptcy  proceeding.
The lack of a substantive  marketing  effort,  due to lack of resources,  during
that period  resulted in the reduced  backlog at this time.  Since late in 1996,
the Company has directed  substantial  resources,  both in time and funding,  to
this area.  The Company has embarked on a plan to identify and establish  strong
representation  in  certain  domestic  markets  and  in a  fairly  large  number
countries around the world.  But,  because the Company sells capital  equipment,
which often has a sales cycle of one to two years or more,  this  marketing push
has  not  yet  begun  to  generate  significant  new  orders.  The  Company  has
established seven new sales  representatives  in the United States. In addition,
the Company has set up new sales  representation  in several foreign  countries,
including Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Mexico and Chile.

                          RESULTS OF OPERATION 3/31/97
                              COMPARED WITH 3/31/96

         Revenues  (Successor  vs.   Successor/Predecessor   Combined)  Revenues
decreased  $463,000 or 36.1% from $1.28 million for the first quarter of 1996 to
$821,000 for the first  quarter of 1997.  The decrease in revenues for the first
quarter of 1997 is primarily the result of the lack of adequate marketing during
the bankruptcy period. Subsequent to the Effective Date of the Plan, significant
expenditures  were made in the Company's  Sales and Marketing  area.  Due to the
long  sales  cycle  in  this  industry,  these  expenses  have  yet to  generate
significant new sales.

         Cost of Goods Sold (Successor vs. Successor/Predecessor Combined) Costs
of Goods Sold decreased by $196,000 or 21.4% from $916,000 for the first quarter
of 1996 to $720,000 for the first quarter of 1997.  The gross margin of $368,000
for the first  quarter of 1996  compares to a gross  margin of $102,000  for the
first quarter of 1997.  The gross margin rate decreased from 28.7% for the first
quarter of 1996 to 12.4% for the first  quarter of 1997.  The  decrease in gross
margin rate is  primarily  the result of the  decreased  revenue  volume and the
significant   amount  of  fixed   overhead   costs   related  to  the  Company's
manufacturing operation.

         Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses   (Successor   vs.
Successor/Predecessor  Combined) Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses
increased  by $74,000 or 32.7% from  $228,000  for the first  quarter of 1996 to
$302,000  for  the  first  quarter  of  1997.  The  majority  of  the  increase,
approximately  $62,000 are additional sales and marketing  expenses  incurred in
the  first  quarter  of 1997.  The  Company  hired a new  Director  of Sales and
Marketing and a new  International  Business  Development  Director in the third
quarter of 1996.  The costs  related  to these new  positions  including  wages,
benefits and travel expenses account for the increased sales expenditures in the
first quarter of 1997. The only significant  general and administrative  expense
that increased in the first quarter of 1997 was the professional fees related to
the 1997 audit.

         Interest  Expense   (Successor  vs.   Successor/Predecessor   Combined)
Interest  expense  increased  by  $10,000 or 16.7%  from  $60,000  for the first
quarter of 1996 to $70,000 for the first  quarter of 1997.  The increase for the
first  quarter of 1997 is the net result of an  increase  related to  additional
senior debt incurred near the end of the first quarter of 1996 and a decrease in
the interest on the Company's capital lease and other long-term debt.
